It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I got thrown off a horse recently and my head hit the ground so hard the riding helmet cracked. Scary shit. Idk if I'd even be alive rn if I wasn't wearing it.

I had a banana fall in derby once and fell right on my head. My mouth guard and S-1 Lifer helmet prevented me from getting a concussion. If you're doing anything on wheels without a seatbelt, you gotta wear your helmet.
